Complementizers in Kalmyk
P. 665-689.
The paper examines syntactic and distributional properties of complementizers in Kalmyk, morphologically identical to non-finite forms of the verb 'say' (gi-), which is a common feature in Altaic languages. It is shown that when used as a complementizer the verb gi- still exhibits certain features associated with the verb 'say' as manifested in its distribution and restrictions on the interpretation of indexicals. At the same time, in its verbal uses the verb gi- shares a number of properties pertaining to functional elements. A unified analysis of both complementizer and verbal uses is proposed where gi- is a functional verb with impoverished semantic content.

Статья посвящена конструкции с показателем tip ‘говорить.CV’ как основному способу передачи чужой речи в башкирском языке. Рассматриваются две стратегии выражения участника в составе чужой речи «пряморечная» и «косвенноречная». Основное внимание уделено ограничениям, которые накладывает выбор одной из стратегий на способ выражения участника, и вопросу о том, чем определяется сам выбор стратегии. Выдвигается гипотеза о том, ...

The study examines tense variation in complement and subject clauses subordinate to and co-temporal with matrix past tense verbs in Russian. The semantics of the matrix verb is commonly named as one of the major factors that govern tense choice in complement and subject clauses: verbs of speech are said to exclusively license present tense ...

Как правило, объединение клауз в полипредикативных конструкциях выражается в том, что один из предикатов теряет свою синтаксическую самостоятельность. Однако существует также чрезвычайно редкий альтернативный способ интеграции главной и подчинённой клауз: объединение может произойти не на синтаксическом, а на морфологическом уровне при сохранении синтаксической самостоятельности. В данной работе показано, что примером полипредикации, сочетающей морфологическую интеграцию компонентов с их синтаксической автономностью, является абазинская ...

The paper focuses on the paths of grammaticalization of the verb of speech manaš (‘say’, ‘name’) in Eastern Mari. The converb of this verb (manən) is desemantisized, it loses the syntactic properties of the verb of speech and shifts to the category of subordinators. Successive grammaticalization steps of this marker can be observed in Modern ...

The paper focuses on the pathways of grammaticalization of the verb of speech gi- in Kalmyk. Analyzing the similarities and the differences between pathways of grammaticalization forms with verb gi- ‘say’, this paper is an attempt to shed some light on the network of constructions that synchronically co-exist in Kalmyk. I argue that Kalmyk gi- ...

The present paper deals with morphologically bound complementation, a type of constructions where a matrix predicate and the head of its sentential complement constitute a single verb morphologically but retain their syntactic and semantic independence. This type of polypredication is discussed on the material of Abaza (< Northwest Caucasian): I consider a construction with an element ...

Morphologically bound complementation is a construction where a matrix predicate and the head of its sentential complement constitute a single verb morphologically but retain their syntactic and semantic independence. In this article I consider the main features of this type of subordination in different languages and then discuss where such morphologically and syntactically peculiar constructions ...

Numeral ‘one’ and demonstratives are usual sources of grammaticalization of articles in the languages of the world. Rutul numeral sa ‘one’ and demonstratives are widely used in texts in functions close to those of articles. Rutul data show that even though it is questionable whether sa can be considered an article, it can be considered ...

The paper deals with functioning of the analytical additive marker əčʼjə̣ / jəčʼjə̣ in the Temirgoy dialect of West Circassian (also known as Adyghe) and the Kuban dialect of Kabardian and analyses some morphosyntactic parameters, which serve to differentiate its various functions. According to the hypothesis we propose, the marker əčʼjə̣ / jəčʼjə̣ , which ...

The paper discusses distributional restrictions on the realization of sentential complement as a čto-clause observed in non-agentive uses of verbs of speech act. It is shown that these restrictions apply only when the sentential complement is in the oblique position and that they are related to the argument structure of the predicate (the presence of attitude ...

In my paper, I will analyze a special feature of clausal complements in the Bzhedug
dialect of Adyghe, a polysynthetic language of the West Caucasian family.
While in many languages, clausal complements cannot trigger verbal agreement,
in Adyghe, the matrix verb can bear plural agreement with a clausal complements,
along with the default singular agreement. If there is a ...

В статье описывается поведение сентенциальных актантов в выделительных конструкциях с местоимением "одно": "Меня волновало одно: быть не хуже других". Как оказывается, использование выделительной конструкции делает возможными некоторые синтаксические модели, которые в стандартной конструкции невозможны. Например, при переходных глаголах может использоваться инфинитив в субъектной позиции, который стандартно невозможен (* "Меня волновало быть не хуже других").
Из этих ...

The paper presents a corpus-driven study of the Russian PP-based degree modifier do uzhasa (lit. ‘to horror’), suggesting a two-stage grammaticalization path. The first stage (presumably, XVIII–XIX c.) involves subjectification, while during the second stage, subjective readings give rise to intensifier readings through conceptual metonymy. Both stages see a host class expansion. This process is ...

Udi (East Caucasian) possesses several means of expressing the meaning ‘other’, namely (i) the combination of a (usually distal) demonstrative with a numeral (usually ‘one’), arguably calqued from Azerbaijani, (ii) the expression originating from a combination of a demonstrative with the noun ‘arm, side’ and (iii) borrowed adjectives. It is shown that the morphological properties ...

The paper discusses Russian constructions with third person imperative particles пусть and пускай. The particles show quite a few features of grammatical categories, while some other properties cast doubts on their grammaticality status. I address two issues; first, is it feasible to view the two constructions as expressing the meaning of third person imperative. Second, ...

The paper deals with one path of the semantic evolution of future anterior. Following this path, future anterior loses its retrospective function but preserves future time reference. This results in the formation of a new future tense from the old future anterior. Such an evolution took place in the history of some Slavic languages (Slovenian, ...

Рассматриваются морфосинтаксические и семантические свойства конструкции адыгейского языка, нетривиальным образом выражающей значение холистической квантификации («весь», «целый»). Выдвигается гипотеза о происхождении данной конструкции из обстоятельственной конструкции со значением таксиса. Адыгейский язык примечателен тем, что использует морфосинтаксические средства для кодирования значения, тяготеющего к лексическому выражению, а также тем, что в нем реализуется крайне нетипичный путь возникновения универсальных ...

Weak grammatical violations, i.e. violations that result in intermediate unacceptability, pose challenges for a formal description of grammar since it remains undecided whether they are the result of a true grammatical constraint or merely an epiphenomenal consequence of processing complexity. Neither informal grammaticality judgements nor corpus data alone can reveal finegrained distinctions that may be ...
